Nadal upset at ABN Amro: At Rotterdam, Netherlands, top-seeded Rafael Nadal lost to Andreas Seppi of Italy 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on a day of upsets, leaving the ABN Amro without seeded players entering the quarterfinals.

Beaten earlier in the day were second-seeded Nikolay Davydenko of Russia, third-seeded David Ferrer of Spain and fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic.

It is only the third time since 2000 no seeded players are in the quarters of an ATP tournament. It previously happened in 2006 in Nottingham, England, and in 2002 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Sharapova reaches Qatar quarterfinals: At Doha, Qatar, Australian Open champion Maria Sharapova reached the Qatar Open quarterfinals with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand.

The fourth-seeded Russian, who won in 2005, will play Caroline Wozniakci of Denmark today. Wozniakci ousted Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-3.

Running back Jamal Lewis has agreed to terms on a three-year contract to stay with the Cleveland Browns.

Lewis was to become an unrestricted free agent next week. But the Browns, who went 10-6 and barely missed the playoffs last season, didn't want to risk losing the bruising back after he rushed for more than 1,300 yards.

Moss not designated franchise player by New England: The New England Patriots did not designate Randy Moss as a franchise player, but there was no word from the team on whether they had reached a contract agreement with the wide receiver or are allowing him to become a free agent.

Teams had until 4 p.m. to designate one player as a franchise player if they wished. Only 11 teams did that, not including the Patriots. If Moss and the Patriots have agreed to a multiyear contract, it cannot be announced until Feb. 29.

Panthers release Foster: The Carolina Panthers released starting running back DeShaun Foster, a move that clears salary-cap space and opens the door for DeAngelo Williams to become the team's featured back.

Singapore will host the first Youth Olympic Games in 2010.

The Southeast Asian city-state of 4.5 million people beat out Moscow in a vote of the International Olympic Committee. The result was announced by IOC president Jacques Rogge during a ceremony at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

The Youth Games will feature about 3,500 athletes aged 14-18 competing in 26 sports. The event, to be held every four years, is designed to encourage youngsters to get involved in sports and spend less time in front of computer and television screens. The first Winter Youth Olympics will be in 2012.
